 Ostrich Walk is a very fine instance of Ragtime, which genre was not pursued in the subsequent development of mainstream Jazz

The video and Wikipedia credit the first recording to Original Dixieland Jazz Band, first released in 1917 on Aeolian Vocalion

 Review
These are two very manly attempts to translate onto an accordion what the Original Dixieland Jazz Band was doing at about the same time with five guys. As such, they are not entirely successful, but then, they probably were doomed to that from the get go because that was a very ambitious notion. That Guido Deiro and whoever did his arrangements (Deiro himself?) got as close as they did is quite remarkable.

Deiro's touch on the accordion is surprisingly light and his rhythm is nimble. He handles the ragtime elements of the tune adroitly. Of the two sides, "Ostrich Walk" is the more successful. "Jazz Band Ball" is marred (at least to my mind) by the recurrent "crashes" at the end of particular phrases. I suspect it is some element of the ODJB's rendition that doesn't translate well (or that I would probably find jarring on their record, too).

I would give "Jazz Band Ball" a 7 and "Ostrich Walk" at least an 8. Dyed-in-the-wool accordion fans might well go higher.
